We would like to thank all of the people who made the first A Thousand Words Festival happen in 2009. Without your generosity and support, this idea would never have become reality.
Authors who participated in the inaugural festival in 2009 included Andrew Daddo, Sally Rippin, Martine Murray, Tony Wilson, Anna Walker, Anna Pignataro, Glenda Millard, Jen Storer, Lili Wilkinson and Michael Pryor.
Anna’s Go-Go Academy held a class for the children and musical activities were provided by Alejandro Espino.
Board Members: Bec Kavanagh, Elvira Ralston, Susan LaMarca, Leesa Lambert & Christine Andell
Special thanks to our sponsors: The Little Bookroom & Viewpoint: on books for young adults and to all our amazing volunteers who worked so hard to make sure that everything came together.
